The reason Ancient Egypt had so many monuments and public works was due to their style of economy. People were paid in food and water by the Pharaoh rather than currency when undertaking these projects. So when the economy stagnated the Pharaoh would commission some huge undertaking to ensure people didn't starve or leave.

Fun fact about the original Colossus of Rhodes: Even after it fell, its ruins continued to be a tourist attraction. For the Romans, it was a fun thing to wrap their arms around the big toe of the Colossus to see if they can fully hug it. And the sheer amount of metal it contained made its looting a century long process. In the end, the final remains of the Colossus were raided by the Umayyades and melted to become coins.

They actually found reasons to why there are extra rooms in the pyramid, it’s not an untold secret as you say. I studied it in college and they’re simply rooms built throughout the building process in case the pharaoh died before the project was completed so he would still get a proper burial room. That’s why the air vents coming from the queen’s room are too short, the pyramid was simply smaller at that step of the construction

The hanging gardens were probably based on the gardens at Nineveh, which were built just a few hundred miles away around the same period.

[@CharlesFreck]

5:00 the lower chambers were built first, and so the ventilation shafts did not need to travel as far to ventilate that section. The internal aspects of the pyramid were completed alongside the external construction. So once those ventilation shafts were no longer needed, they just built over them.

I could be wrong but i remember watching a documentary back in the day talking about those long shafts in the great pyramid. They looked at what the sky's constellations looked like back in their time, and the way those shafts are angled were to suggest the soul of the Pharoah would use those as guidelines to follow himself to the heavens, directly into a certain constellation i dont remember. They really focused on ways to help the dead make their way to the afterlife any way they could (which is why they keep organs, treasure, food, everything to help aid in the journey). There was significance with the 3 smaller pyramids as well. Like all of it together was to be aligned structually with the stars. Just a theory and i could be wrong, but interesting either way 😅

And the pyramids being tombs was just an idea of the first western explorers. There never was found even one mummy inside a pyramid as far as I‘m aware.

There is nothing else they would reastically be built for.

[@wy34football]

@@paulreisenleiter3603there were some bodies found. They believe the lack of bodies was due to grave robbers. Also, the valley of kings was after the pyramids, and they did this to prevent grave robbing. Their embalming techniques were much worse in the pyramid era, another reason they may have not found as many bodies. However, I do tend to dispute the notion that the pyramids were solely burial grounds for pharaohs. What do I know though? 😂 I just use google and KZbin for research

[@dank-mcpuffins1267]

Not to mention all the mathematical and astrological features of the pyramid, aligned to the highest precision on all 4 sides, alignment with the constallation, the amount of "hired workers" needed for the construction would of been staggering, and there's no supportint evidence of camp and barracks nearby to house these workers. The Egyptians left the most detailed accounts of everything they did, in writting they took detail and gave account to everything about their culture, statues, hieroglyphs, pottery, but left no details on the greatest achievements found like the great pyramid and the sphinx. These were from previous civilizations before the flood.

[@Lord_Merterus]

The Temple of Artemis was also the largest Greek Temple ever built, with its size being in the range of 140x69 meters to 125x69 meters. It was also lavishly adorned with sculptures all around the exterior and interior, some of which (like a sculpted drum from the top of a column) can be found at the... British Museum, of all places. Also, the ruins do not look anything like that. There is only a single column standing with remains of the foundation. However, if you want to be able to understand what it looked like and the sheer scale of that place, you can visit the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, a hundred or so kilometers south of the Temple of Artemis. It was of a very similar scale, being 120x60 meters and is much more intact. Also, we do NOT have shawarma.

That "horse" in the sketch of the Mausoleum at 17:43 looks a lot like it came right out of My Little Pony, cutiemark included

[@karmenfriesen2681]

Love the animation and storytelling ❤

[@Kostas_Dikefalaios]

The "official" explanation for the pyramid and its purpose I just cant take seriously anymore. Its so absurd that its funny at this point.

[@BorisGanev-ll3el]

This is amazing. Your best video yet

[@beyondborderfilms4352]

This was fantastic, your channel is great with good animation,with your own style,humor,and charm. You bring interesting topics not many bring up and that makes me so happy to see. I can't wait for your next video.😊

[@konsama1315]

Sad you didn’t talk about the possibility of the hanging garden of Babylon actually being the gardens of Nineveh in assyria

[@CrazyBrosCael]

Yeah I thought that too. Perhaps the Greeks misinterpreted their source?

[@Wovi10]

First video I watched from you. I have to say, this was a gem, keep going like this!

[@arweedsavu]

This is my first time stumbling upon this channel and I must say “Wow” - the animation is stunning. Absolutely amazing. 🎨

[@kopperbottom2803]

hell yeah this is perfect to watch with my poutine lunch

[@FabiansLab]

Wow, this art style and animation quality is really good... Does just one guy make this? It's hella impressive, and good narration writing too

[@ariamh823]

Honestly one of the best and most memorable videos I watched through the thousands of hours I have on KZbin. It managed to peak my interests in traveling the B.C world. I just hope the algorithm recognizes this gem

[@michaelbacqalen1109]

Piqued not peaked

[@hagstik]

Can I just say this video is AMAZINGLY well done and informative. Great job man !!

[@ksichan8]

8:30 then, who designed that popular picture of hanging gardens we all know of today as to how it may have looked and how did it get so popularized ?

[@spencersholden]

22:17 For his help, Ptolemy 1 of Egypt would be give the title of Soter which meant Savior. And this would became the name of his dynasty, the Soter Dynasty.

[@SimplymeSVEN18]

*Ptolemaic dynasty. Or the Lagid dynasty, after Ptolemy I's father, Lagus. The epithet of Soter was basically just a nickname, many noteworthy (greek) rulers had one of these. Demetrius himself for instance earned himself the epithet of Poliorcetes, the besieger. Dysnasty names are not named after epithets as far as I'm aware; mostly because they are acquired later in life.

[@Boaboard22]

Absolutely top notch content‼️

[@khvediri]

17:04 WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS FACE. HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO LIVE?!

[@VogatronYT]

14:00 this has to be the most creative way I’ve *EVER* seen anyone do a sponsorship 😂😂

[@SomaSplitdow]

The video was so well made I was sad it’s over

[@jackclancy2189]

Love the involvement of the viewer as a character, does feel like a Dora episode but it’s fun lmao

[@nevx8228]

A bit late to the party. It was a nice way of showing the ancient wonders, and skits and ad inserts were entertaining. Keep it up the good work man.

[@spyhy4019]

What about compunding interest? Thats the 8th wonder of the world

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

Feels like you should've mentioned that there's very good evidence that the hanging gardens of Babylon were in fact real but instead of being in Babylon they were in Nineveh. The evidence being that we know, due to wall reliefs and writing that Nineveh had some incredible gardens in it's palance, filled with aqueducts and elevation. The fact that babylon means Gate of the Gods and was a title of many mesopatamian cities means that the greeks who saw it probably misreported it as being in Babylon proper.

[@fmita_]

As an American, I always wondered why the ancient wonders of the “world” only included wonders in the west. I’m sure China, India, Korea, Japan, etc. all had amazing wonders that could rival or surpass some of those on this list. Do eastern cultures have their own ancient wonders of the world?

[@VintoPinto]

Yeah! This is because the ancient wonders category is a modern invention by western dudes who didn't really care as much about the non-western world.

[@shadowborn1456]

Yes one example persepolis city of kings I have no idea why that magnificent structure hadn't considered one is it bc that was persian and greeks didn't mention it bc of that?

[@klaseniusproductions7591]

It's because the "wonders of the world" was a list created by the ancient greeks, who didn't know about China, India, Korea, or Japan. It's not a title we have retroactively given to them in modern times. At the time it was basically a guidebook for ancient greek tourists, a list of things that they could visit.

[@predella_567]

you should be at least 40 million subscribers. wtf is this production

[@qwertyuiopzxcfgh]

Personally, I would consider the following to be the 7 wonders of the world: 1. the Great Pyramid of Giza 2. the Great Wall of China 3. the Panama Canal 4. the Netherlands North Sea Protection Works 5. the International Space Station 6. the Internet 7. Bonus spot, can be switched every year to give attention to other monuments that deserve it. If Nuclear Fusion ever becomes viable, the first reactor that manages it will probably get this spot.

[@concept5631]

Good thinking with the fusion reactor

[@Riael]

Nah fuck it we should make this is a guinness book of records type of situation First expand the list, add stuff like the ISS, panama canal, some of the giant buddha statues around asia, and haters gonna hate the house of the people, just keep going so the list is as expansive as possible. also in the future once a system is decided including other works of art such as a poem, a piece of violin music, a rap song, so on so forth. Every 5 years (or however long) the organization comes up with the following lists: Dealer's Choice, Popular will, Charity drive, and Rngesus Dealer's choice somehow decided by the organization, not sure exactly how this should be decided Popular will: The organization organizes votes and to the best of possibility (maybe using blockchain) in all the countries that take part, people show up and vote just like they do for everything else, although someone smarter than me needs to figure out a way so that india/china don't just decide everything because they have the population (maybe each country gets X votes and the percentage for each is based on the popular vote?) Charity drive: One wonder is chosen by the biggest donor towards a prostate cancer research place, one is chosen by the biggest donor towards a breast cancer research place, one is wonder is chosen by the biggest donor towards reversing blindness (those things to change over years), one is chosen by the biggest donor towards child charities, one by the biggest donor towards animal charities (not PETA), one by the biggest donor towards wildlife preservation efforts, and one by the biggest donor towards ocean conservation efforts. Rngesus: Randomly chosen from the list minus the ones above And why not let's make another wonder somewhere (I vote Liberland or another tiny nation that's not recognized) and we have the winners turned into plaques or holographic statues or NFTs or whatever would convince those greedy animals to be more human.

[@frfras7]

That’s stupid

[@PGF444]

@@Riael We already have something that is not far off: The UNESCO world heritage sites.

[@brinta2868]

I would choose the Suez Canal over the Panama Canal.
